Elyse helped to take out the stress of wedding planning! She is extremely organized, makes EVERYONE around her feel warm, and was a huge part of the success of our wedding. Everything from putting together and delivering our wedding bags, helping with set-up and take down of our venue, helping to ensure all vendors were on the same page during every single second of our wedding, creating a perfect minute by minute timeline, and she was on every single one of the vendors call. I highly recommend Elyse and all the work that she does!

Hiring Elyse was the best decision we made in planning our wedding! She was willing to do anything she could to make our day run smoothly. She did so much, including meeting our photographer and showing her around the campground where we were getting married, mopping up spills at the reception, setting up decorations, making several firewood runs to keep the fireplaces going, and helping troubleshoot when we were running late because of the weather. She took so much worry off our plates so we could focus on being with our guests. I don't think we even had to talk to the caterer at all that day, Elyse took care of everything! I don't know what we would have done without her! All our guests commented on how hard she was working the whole night. She is so kind and flexible and all she cares about is that you have a wonderful time at your wedding. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

From Bride: "I don't know where to even start except for to say how grateful I am that we hired you! Whether it was the big things or the small things (like setting up our venue, coming to meetings with us, giving us breath mints in the receiving line, realizing I forgot a place card and fixing it before I even had to worry) you were always there and always so helpful! I thought our wedding day was perfect and was absolutely amazed with how beautiful the decor for Dellwood turned out. You are the one to thank for that! So seriously - thanks so much for being so good at what you do! P.S. My mom said we way very impressed with you!"
From Groom: "Thank you so much for all your help both leading up to our wedding and on the day of the wedding. I don't even know what we would have done with Ben's pants if you weren't there. You were prepared for everything which made out day stress free. Thank you!!!"

"​Elyse was FANTASTIC! I am so relieved that we opted for a wedding planner to assist us with day of needs! Elyse was so hands on during the entire event. Even before my wedding day she was always quick to respond in emails and phone calls. She assisted me in so many different ways I didn't even know were possible. My family even loved her! Right before I walked down the aisle, she stopped me and said "take your time, he's waiting for you" - I nearly melted right there! I will forever remember taking that advice and soaking in the moment I had been waiting for. Thank you Elaborate Style Events for assisting us with our special day! It was seriously FLAWLESS!"​

"We loved working with Elyse! She did an amazing job from our invites to escort cards to centerpeices and more. My mom took care of most of the wedding decisions since I have a demanding job. Elyse worked with my mom so well and alleviated so much stress. Anyone who can befriend my mom is golden!"

I loved working with Elyse. She was so hands on and really knew how to handle my guests. I felt completely confident with her by my side! I was so happy I hired a wedding planner because it allowed me to have fun on my wedding day and not worry about all the details.

We had a very small wedding but I did not know how I was going to manage setting up my reception space and manage to get ready for the day and make it on time to the ceremony. I am very thankful I found Elaborate Style Events! Elyse is the sweetest, most genuine individual; it was very easy to trust her with everything! On the day of the wedding, she worked so well with restaurant, my guests and everything was just great. I felt very relieved having her a part our day.

Flawless! Absolutely flawless! There is nothing I would have changed about my wedding day. Elyse did a phenomenal job pulling it all together. I originally booked Elyse for her week-of wedding coordination services, but she started working with me a month before for no additional fees. It was awesome having her come in at that time. She came to our house to discuss the details of the day and asked us questions we hadn't put much thought to yet. On the day of she was spot on helping everyone who needed anything. She was super awesome with all my little nieces and nephews. She brought books to keep them busy and got them excited about walking down the aisle. She was helpful with the photographer making sure every shot was perfect and she set up our ballroom beautifully. At the end of the night she sent us on our way as she stayed back to clean everything up and deliver back to us after our honeymoon. Hiring a wedding coordinator was hands down the best decision I made and WELL worth the extra penny. Thanks Elyse and best of luck as you continue your passion!

Elyse was AMAZING! Just a few things she did for us that made our day run seamlessly- giving us honest advice on what will work/ what won't during the planning process, setting up and tearing down our venue, making our wedding day timeline, getting us out of a bad floral contract with her badass letter writing skills, figuring out seating assignments when it was realized on the day-of that I had forgotten someone, going to 2 different sandwich places to get lunch since the MOH wanted a special sandwich, and last but not least- SEWING a groomsman's pants back together after he split them on the party bus. She is organized and so easy to work with, and she was prepared for EVERYTHING. Our families raved about her and we were so impressed with her. Our wedding would not have been half as amazing without her! Thank you Elyse!

Elyse did an amazing job leading up to and on our wedding day. She asked great questions and helped us think of things we hadn't thought of on our own. She anticipated everything and made everything go so smoothly- to this day I have no idea if anything didn't go as planned. Elyse is truly a professional and knows her business inside and out- I can't say enough about the service she provided- it was exceptional!
